[Atrix 4G Android Development] T39andcounting:
Great post! Thanks for the details. Tried this yesterday on my UK Orange Atrix and it worked well. Couple of small details I'd add from my experience:

First, between Bootloader Unlocking and Flashing OrangeFR 2.3.4 I'd suggest making a Nandroid Backup:

Power down your Atrix

Power on by pressing the power button while holding the Volume Down key

When Fastboot shows on the screen, press the Volume down key several times until Android Recovery shows, then press the Volume Up button.

Choose backup and restore from the menu, External SD Card, then Backup.

This will give you something to go back to if the update fails or you make an error

Next, remember to do the following BEFORE you apply an update!

I used Android Terminal Emulator from the Market to do this. But only after I'd applied an update with the wrong kernel and got stuck in a boot loop. Luckily I'd taken the Nandroid backup first, so could restore that and start again!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] helion_rules:
Hi, until yesterday was using CyanogenMod, but today I decided to install FroyoMod, so I made a backup of the folder /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases. Now I make an adb push to the phone with those files, then reboot, but the Call Log and the SMS do not show.

GB uses a different SQLite table or I´m doing anything wrong?

Thanks,
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] onethreeteeh:
when you pull it, try running the vacuum sqlite command on the database file.

i wrote a script to do it, rather than using adb, but the process should be similar.

once i have the .db file, i run

sqlite3 /sdcard/mmssms.db vacuum;

and that fixed it for me
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] helion_rules:
It shows me "Error: database disk image is malformed", I´ve tried to open de .db in the PC and I can read correctly SMS
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] onethreeteeh:
yeah, sounds like the same issue i was facing.

try making a script like this, and saving it in /sdcard/OpenRecovery/scripts. then just run it from openrecovery, and it'll backup and vacuum the sms database for you. I got that same error when i tried using sqlite from the android sdk, or when trying to open it using sqlitebrowser

#!/sbin/sh

echo 'Copying SMS databases...'
cp -f /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db /sdcard/

cd /system/xbin
echo 'Vacuuming SMS database...'
./sqlite3 /sdcard/mmssms.db vacuum;
echo 'Complete'
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
Because i've tried via rockplayer, but it lagged so much and there was no sound. Any ideas?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
try moboplayer, its free and plays anything, i watch 720p videos straight from my laptop, and it eats them up :D
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
can you stream via 3g? Can you play files from sd card?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Ive never tried to use it to stream video's :confused: ive only played video's from my SD Card :)

here is the market page :)

[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
don't seems like you can play .mkv files thou :/ well I can't any way
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
have you tried software rendering mode? :confused:

also try this codec :)

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil.armv7_vfpv3&feature=more_from_developer
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
i get sound, but no audio :(
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
Just tried software decoding mode. It works! Thanks dude!s
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
i was just about to say, i copied a 720p .mkv to my device. at first there was no sound and it was all broken, i ticked software decoding on in settings and the video and sound work great :D
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Srewaming 720p will lag the sevice
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
I watch mkv anime videos with moboplayer, renders the subtitles too

[Xperia Play General] faisaldante:
well I have mobo player when I try to play 720 p anime like haruhi suzumiyah it plays but it goes out of sync the video and audio anyone know anything do u think overclocking would help
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
I think it's a bad file. I got season 11 south park all 720p .mkv files. and they play fine :)
[Xperia Play General] faisaldante:
do u htink the size has somein to do with it i watch really small anime encodes like 60 70 mb maybe thats why if i watch d 100 or 120 mb ones it may make a difference maybe
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
I hope your talking about 70mb SD encodes cause 70mb 720p would give you major eye cancer :rolleyes: :D.

I dont think its the file size its probably the way the file has been encoded down to 70mb thats the problem. Since i have not had a problem playing anime i would watch on my pc.

I have just watched [Coalgirls]_Shiki_01_(1280x720_Blu-Ray_FLAC)_[5B75CA00] (430mb)(bitrate : 1600 kbps) with no problems. No lag in audio or subtitles and video was like 95% smooth, only the occasional jerk for a second when panning. Try a normal sd encode @ like 200ish mb.

I also had no problem playing The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya NCED theme (Hare Hare Yukai) SD video with karaoke soft-sub from here in the test videos part. Which is 30mb & bitrate: 3400 kbps.

My phone is rooted and bloat removed dont know if that helps....?
[Xperia Play General] faisaldante:
No man i got mine from minitheatre.org some small awesome anime encodes i thnk ur right that a few big ones play well i noticed sd ones work perfect its only hd ones i have trouble with them i use MX player ill test ur file to see if its working an all. Also I love bleach so put many bleach eps which i rewatch bout 100 times a day lolz on ma xperia play to but in 480p.
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
A lot of the higher quality anime I tried was lagging. I just use 480p most of the time now

Sent from my R800
[Xperia Play General] juami:
Try diceplayer

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.trial

diceplayer can use HW video decoder in Qualcomm QSD8255.

it can play 720p H.264 High@3.1 / DTS,Flac,AC3 / MP4,MKV,MOV,MTS,AVI.
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
diceplayer lagged horribly when I tried 720p anime. Lagged worse than moboplayer.

Sent from my R800
[Xperia Play General] juami:
Can i get your file info?

Diceplayer can play 720p High@4.0 at QSD8255( this is hw video decoder limitation )

My old Nexus-1 can play 720p High@3.1+DTS/AC3 MKVs.
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
same here. Moboplayer works for short episodes on HD 720p. But i tried an episode of generation kill with DTS-sound and it didn't work that great :P
[Xperia Play General] Blagus:
Our phone is MSM7X30, not QSD8255...
[Xperia Play General] Kurobane:
Moboplayer works fine for me but I guess it depends on how the video was encoded.
[Xperia Play General] spotopolis:
I like RockPlayer myself just make sure you download the correct version for your processor. The market app is a universal app. If you go to rockplayer.com they have diffrent versions tuned to the diffrent typs of processors.
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
With moboplayer, I noticed some 720p vids lagged, others didn't. So I tested a whole bunch encoded with different settings and discovered it was the bitrate. A twenty min episode at about 200mb ran fine, but at 400mb barely ran at all.

Sent from my R800
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
I got true blood (50 min) .mkv file on like 300mb+ to run smooth. But when i tried Generation Kill 1 hour episode on like 550mb it lagged like crazy. Can be because it was DTS sound haha.
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
Yeah i think its the DTS i have no problems playing FLAC but when i tried something with DTS my phone got angry at me :rolleyes:. Mobo is probably is missing the right codec for it.

Ive tried many different mkv's. I had no problem playing a file encoded High@L5.1 at 3400 Kbps it was sd though so that probably helped.

With 720p i have had no trouble playing files up to 2000-2500 Kbps. Tbh though SD is more than enough. Cannot really tell the difference from a dvd rip or a bluray rip on the phone. I used to use 720p but now i have gone to 480p SD since IMHO there is little difference
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
I noticed a difference in battery life based on the quality of the videos

Sent from my R800
[Xperia Play General] nysrin:
Would overclocking to 1.4-1.5ghz be enough to watch the 720p movies that play jerky/laggy at 1ghz? or wouldn't it matter much?
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
i dont think it would help. Its the software and codes that are the problem, not hardware.. I guess.
[Xperia Play General] nysrin:
i tried roboplayer, moboplayer, rockplayer, it was all jerky playback for me for some reason. Tried Dice player yesterday and it played fluently. Thanks for tip :)

I gues it just depends on the type of file (codec used), judging from other posts, some vids work better on player a.. some better on player b... But for now diceplayer seems to work best for me ( I tried some episodes of spartacus and lost girl :D )
[Xperia Play General] captain67:

i installed stock JVR ROM

deodexed it

everything is wonderful till i change the boot animation

boot animation works and it still work till screen go black,, when u press home button the screen shows boot animation still working

any idea why is that and how to fix it ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrFredPhD:
You could reflash the ROM. Or if you can connect it to your computer in debugging mode you should be able to just delete the custom boot animation and it will default back to the stock one.

As for why it's happening I'm not sure, maybe the animation you're using isn't made correctly. Try with a different one.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jason_V:
LG hasn't released the 2.3.3 source so no custom kernels exist.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mecombem@gmail.com:
Would it be reasonable to assume that since the old kernel works with 2.3.3 (they didn't update it at all), a modified kernel such as faux's would work with it as well?

I was thinking that as well

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edprigar:
My last update was the official Moto 1.8.3, and then rerooted with GingerBreak. My phone is also unlocked for carrier (not the bootload).

If I install the new 4.5.91 released by Motorola, will I lose the root or the carrier unlocking?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delmarvahockey29:
I am not sure about the carrier unlock but i am thinking that if the update is being pushed out by your carrier, you should be okay. But also note that by updating you will lose root access forsure.

Hopefully someone else can further answer your question as I am not 100% sure about carrier unlocks and GB updates pushed out by other carriers.

FAQS

FAQS

Do I need to have everything in the android-sdk downloaded and installed?

No, you just need to have the base sdk.

When I tell the command prompt to adb devices, my phone does not show up!!

Make sure you have installed the proper drivers for your phone and for your correct operating system

I'm not getting "root@localhost" when I type / copy-&-paste "bootubuntu"

Well, this could be for a various amount of reasons, first make sure you have a rooted HTC EVO 3D/Sensation. And by root, I mean a full root, not just a temp root or S-off. If you still do not get "root@localhost", flash your device (or go though your data folder and delete all the ubuntu files, then delete the ubuntu file off of your sd card and clear your caches.), and retry the above steps. If the problem still persists, then please PM me with your exact problem.

I'm having issues within the VNC, and I get an error message when I hit "connect".

Make sure you typed your password correctly, the passwords are case sensitive. If you still cannot get in, make sure your IP Adress is set to "127.0.0.1" and your Port(s) are "5901".

The colors on my screen look all weird and disorientated, how do I fix this?

Close Ubuntu, and re-open the VNC application, then scroll down to "Color Format" and tap on "24-bit color (4 bpp)".

The on-screen keyboard does not work and I get a different letter or character for whatever character I type!

The on-screen keyboard will work now, if you install LXDE.

I'm not good with reading text! I need a video demonstration!

For a video head here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbunTRzEQCI

How do I close Ubuntu?

Two options here:

1.Logout of the server and go to your homescreen and push menu, then go to settings, then Applications, then Running Services and close any remaining open part of the server program. The service may re-open later, do not close it though. It won't use up a noticable amount of RAM, just enough to make sure the application opens quick again.

2. Logout of the server and use your favorite task killer to close the server process. The service may re-open later, do not close it though. It won't use up a noticable amount of RAM, just enough to make sure the application opens quick again.

FAQS should be in order chronologically (until the end of them).​

I would like to give a huge thanks to EarlyMon, for helping out lost members. This thread would not be as peaceful if it were not for him.

And it seems I have forgotten to list another VERY helpful person here, danaff37. I am really grateful to both of these two for all of the help and work they have done to aid others.

Am I missing a question that you are pretty sure is asked ALOT (lol)? Then PM me please and I'll get it up here ASAP!

[HTC EVO 3D] EarlyMon:
Please review the thread, especially for LXDE desktop advice, you'll find the keyboard is largely solved and your lag will decrease with the lighter environment.

The rest is alleviated with overclocking, you'll have to find one suitable for the Sensation - similar, but not identical, to the 3D.

This is a workable solution and not as bad as you think.

Have you tried after a fresh reboot? The loop device is busy.. I'm not a hundred percent convinced at this point that it's an issue, but make sure all apps are on phone and not sdcard.

I just think that with a potential clarifying answer en route it's possibly best to not have potentially conflicting advice while waiting.

This is a causal system, it's not chaotic. There are those of us who have it working that believe we know why it's working.

With sufficient observables, yours ought be corrected to work, too.
